Among the many Improvements
made around the Wright House, none
are more noticeable than those in the
bar and billiard rooms. The new bar

Alma holds out to be a great health
resort, but she has eight physicians
who claim that each and everyone is
doing fine business. Eight physi-
clans for town like Alma is good
many, and either the town is unhealthy
or else some doctor lies when ne saws
he is doing a good business, st. Louis
Republican. You are right, Bro. Smith
Alma does hold out to be great
health resort which is more than st
Louis can say, for instead of "holding
OUT she is rapidly falling off. 1t is
getting to he a common occurrence for
patients at the Sanitarlum there to
give up all hope Of obtaining relief and
come to the Alma Sanitarium, where
they begin TO receive benefit at once.
AS regards Alma's eight doctors and
their fine business, you knew that was
a lie when you wrote it. There are
just five practcing physicians in Alma
exclusive OF the Sanitarium physicians
who do not go outside that institution
Now not one Of these five NJ. DIS ever
told YOU or any of your friends that
they were doing fine business Now
if we were to tell you they were not
making any more money than you are
in your newspaper business you would
feel sorry FOR them, wouldn't YOU
Smith, for you would know at once that
they were hoeing a mighty hard row
Well, in all probability they are al
doing little better than that, i'm fact
we believe they all have fair practice
and are making at least good living
though none of them are getting rich
And you must bear in mind the fact
that there is a considerable scope oi
country, quite thickly populated around
; Alma, that these five doctors have tC
look after, which takes up few hours
occasionally. We are more than will
ing to compare the health statistics o
